SEAHAWKS PLAYOFF SCENARIOS
An updated version of the Seahawks playoff scenarios.
NFC WEST
SEATTLE 7-7
St. Louis 6-8
Arizona 5-9
NFC Wild Card Race
Minnesota 8-7
New Orleans 7-8 (beat Atlanta today)
Carolina 6-8 (at Tampa Bay later)
St. Louis 6-8 (home vs Philadelphia Monday night)
Since Green Bay beat Minnesota, 34-31, on Friday, the Packers have won the NFC North. They have also clinched the #3 seed. The Packers would own the tiebreaker over the Seahawks should both teams finish 9-7.
IF Seattle AND Green Bay finish 9-7 (both division champs), the Seahawks would earn the #4 seed. Green Bay owns the tiebreaker over Seattle (common opponents).
#5 Minnesota (Wild Card) at #4 Seattle (NFC West champs)
#6 NFC Wild Card at #3 Green Bay (NFC North champs)
IF Green Bay wins the NFC North AND finishes ONE GAME AHEAD of Seattle, the Seahawks would earn the #4 seed.
#5 Minnesota (Wild Card) at #4 Seattle (NFC West champs)
#6 NFC Wild Card at #3 Green Bay (NFC North champs)
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
So, it's pretty simple for the Seahawks:
Win vs Arizona = Clinch playoff berth
Win vs Arizona + St. Louis loses to Philadelphia = Clinch NFC West
The Seahawks, should they win the NFC West, will likely face Minnesota, a rematch of Week 14, when they won 27-23 in the Metrodome.
GO SEAHAWKS!!!
